We are happy to announce that Shocking Gasp is now providing transcripts of our episodes!

There are many reasons a podcast should provide transcripts. It helps boost SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It provides fans the ability to copy and paste their favorite moments into Tweets, Facebook posts, blogs, and so on. It makes it easier for the editor to find good content for a recap. But the foremost reason is accessibility.

Accessibility is important. We want people who are D/deaf, hard of hearing, or struggle with understanding us to have a way to enjoy the show. We care about these people. We care about everyone, really. So if we can find a way to help you enjoy our story, then it will always be worth our effort.

I mean that. I promise you that we will never, ever charge for transcriptions. Shocking Gasp will always provide this service at no cost. So if you've found someone charging for them, let us know. We'll shut them down.

Currently, we've got no income, and affordable (read: free) transcription services offer limited functionality. So we're doing it on our own. Stephanie is transcribing each episode for us by hand. It's a long process, and I love her for doing it. But what that means is our transcripts will lag episode release, sometimes by weeks or even months. We'll get them up there, that's a promise, and we'll do it as fast as we can.

As soon as we can afford it, we'll start getting professional transcriptions so we can deliver them in a timely manner. But until then, I hope you can forgive a little tardiness or the occasional mispelling.

And be sure to let us know if you have any tips or comments. Thank you.

- Scott the Dungeon Master
